Wish I Had a Troubadour Lyrics

Wish I had a troubadour sitting by my knee
Playing stately rhythms of the ancient balladry
If I had a troubadour, I'd signal with my hand
And he would sing for you
He would sing for you until you'd smile

Wish I had a castle clown with bells upon his hat
Doing tricks and somersaults, you'd have to laugh at that
If I had a castle clown, I'd call him to your side
And he'd do tricks for you
He'd do tricks for you until you'd smile

Wish I had a wind, I'd bring it by
A gentle western wind to dry your eyes
A southern wind to keep you from your crying
I'm still trying

Wish I had a Royal Ballet to summon at my will
Dancing by the candle light, some lovely old quadrille
If I had a Royal Ballet I'd signal with a nod
And they would dance for you
They would dance for you until you'd smile

Wish I had a wind I'd bring it by
A gentle western wind to dry your eyes
A southern wind to keep you from your crying
I'm still trying

Wish I had a troubadour sitting by my knee
Playing stately rhythms of the ancient balladry
If I had a troubadour, I'd signal with my hand
And he would sing for you
He would sing for you until you'd smile
